Weather report was wrong and the calm day was 12 mph winds. In a kayak, that is a lot. Fished the standing timber south of the east boat launch with Texas Rigged Yum Dinger and weightless Caffeine shad. Fished 4 hours and caught 6 in the 14-16 inch range. Lots of boats in that spot. I planned to fish the humps, but the wind blew me around too much.

Launched the boat at sunrise and ran to the south end of the lake to start looking for beds in some of the coves on the east side of the lake. There weren’t any beds up shallow, there were a few up in the reeds. I just had to blind cast on flats and drag a worm around feeling for the bait to drop and then hold it there until I felt a thump. I fished that way for the first 3 hours of the day and caught some small males, so I moved to the dam to fish the rip rap with a Frittside 7 banging it off the rock in 8-10 foot of water and I caught a couple nice fish that way. The wind started picking up so I decided to go fish standing timber in protected coves dragging creature baits and that wasn’t working so I went out to some main lake points that had some stumps around it and drug a Carolina rig around fighting the wind. I got some solid bites on the stumps. I caught my best fish on the Carolina rig in 8-15 foot of water. All the fish were pre-spawn. I caught the Carolina rig fish on a fluke style bait I pour myself. The color is similar to tilapia magic.
